Through the Lens: The Life of a Legend
John Shearer
Michael Jackson. Bob Marley. Oprah. Muhammad Ali. A few names of individuals that are understood, respected and revered across the globe. There are very few people that can transcend race, gender, nationality and social class while still using their platform to uplift their people and Muhammad Ali was one of them. For many, being respected in their craft is hard enough but to take your craft and become a voice for those who are not heard is even harder. I won't bore you all with the story we all know of Ali but I will share his story visually. Many know him as a boxer, many know him as an activist, many know him as a part-time comedian but all of those aspects are just part of the spectrum of who he was at his core, a human being.
Here is the life of a legend as seen through the lens of some of the world's most famous photographers' lenses. Rest in power to the Legend
